Letter: O'Neal just playing to his base

As the furor over the paranoia of Gov. Sam Brownback is dying down, another bit of lunacy is put forward by a Republican legislator. House Speaker Mike O’Neal made public his feelings about minorities by forwarding a racist email regarding President Obama and his wife. O’Neal’s tepid apology notwithstanding, he was clearly pandering to the Republican Party base in the state. All I can say is, come on Kansas, you’re acting like Missouri and Oklahoma.
